Don’t
fictional characters sometimes seem totally relatable? No matter their story,
we’re always crushing on a few potential novel boyfriends. Seriously, where’s our Peeta or Gale? There’s never been a better time than the
V-Day season to compile our fave list. Read on for 10 guys we’d date right off
the pages.

Charlie
is sweet, sensitive, and will do anything to stand up for his friends in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. He might be on the outside
of the social scene, but that’s what makes him even more desirable.

In The Secret Life of Bees, Lily’s infatuated with Zach, the
charming friend of the Boatwright sisters. In the 1960s segregated south, he’s
not even afraid to take Lily on a date to the movies and put himself on the
line. We’d date this fearless sweetie in a heartbeat.

When
Gale commits, he commits. He looks out for Katniss’ family while she competes
in the Hunger Games, and he’s always ready to meet her for an afternoon in the
woods. Hey, we want a Gale for ourselves!

13 Little Blue Envelopes’ starving artist is up for
traveling when it comes to accompanying Ginny to Scotland on an international
scavenger hunt organized by her aunt. What’s not to like about this fun-loving
European?

Stanley
Yelnats of Holes always seems to be getting in
trouble because of his bad luck. But we’d be lucky to date him! Stanley’s a
great friend of Zero and only wants to befriend the other guys at Camp Green
Lake. We’d totally go out with this brave boy any day.
